To the Editor:
The Anderson County Adult Safety Coalition and ElderWatch would like to thank all those who helped make our ''Happy Living'' EXPO a success.
Our thanks go to the city of Oak Ridge and the Senior Center for their generous sponsorship in providing an accessible location. Thanks also to the Oak Ridge Police Department and the Anderson County Sheriff's Department for their continuing role in keeping seniors safe through programs such as Neighborhood Watch and identity theft awareness.
We also owe much credit to Methodist Medical Center, UPS, The Oak Ridger, Sams, the Clinton Church of God and American Reprographics.
Del Holley, assistant district attorney from Knoxville, gave an exceptionally clear view of power of attorney and its misuse by the unaware.
A very special thanks goes to those organizations that provided a booth at the EXPO. These are the men and women who work everyday to make the lives of seniors easier, less painful, richer, more fun, safer or less lonely. They make clear that complicated form or help with a confusing choice. They teach seniors about nutrition and medication safety. They care for seniors when their children are not close by or no longer care. We thank them all.
Finally, thank you to all who attended the EXPO. We hope you learned something you need to know.
